Description

Epitaxial growth is used the inter-modification substrate and is used crystal phragmoplast, device, bulk substrate and their manufacture method of its manufacturing
Technical field
What the present invention relates to is crystal phragmoplast, device, bulk substrate and their manufacture method of epitaxial growth with inter-modification substrate and its manufacturing of use.
Background technology
With the gallium nitride is the nitride-based semiconductor of representative, because band gap is wide and can to send blueness be light, therefore, is widely used in LED (light-emitting diode) or LD (semiconductor laser) etc.In recent years, the research of further raising luminous efficiency or high brightnessization is carried out widely.
General nitride semiconductor luminescent element structure, the double-heterostructure of the n type covering that has on Sapphire Substrate n type contact layer that lamination successively has the resilient coating that is made of GaN, is made of n type GaN, constitutes by n type AlGaN, the active layer that constitutes by n type InGaN, the p type covering that constitutes by p type AlGaN, the p type contact layer that constitutes by p type GaN.Active layer constitutes only to comprise and has by In xGa L-xSingle quantum well (the SQW:Single Quantum Well) structure of the trap layer that N (0≤X≤1) constitutes or by In xGa 1-xThe trap layer that N (0≤X≤1) constitutes and by In yGa 1-yN (the In (patent documentation 1) in Multiple Quantum Well (the MQW:Multi Quantum Well) structure on the barrier layer of 0≤y≤1, y<x) constitute.
When on Sapphire Substrate, making above-mentioned gallium nitride layer epitaxial growth, result from gallium nitride and sapphire coefficient of thermal expansion differences and lattice constant difference and on the Sapphire Substrate after the film forming, produce the situation of warpage, by cognition.
In non-patent literature 1, to epitaxial growth AlN resilient coating on Sapphire Substrate and GaN layer and how relax the thermal stress that produces by film forming, investigate according to the film thickness of GaN layer.In this non-patent literature 1, the warpage of substrate becomes big along with the film thickness thickening, produce the situation that boundary defect (Interface Defects), microfissure (Microcracks) or dislocation (Dislocation), macroscopic cracking (Macrocracks) relax stress by following, by clearly in this.
In addition, in Fig. 4 of non-patent literature 2, disclose being that the warpage of the substrate that produces of the operation of LED structure is carried out the analytical method that In-situ (original position) observes by epitaxial growth GaN on Sapphire Substrate.By like this, find in a series of film formation process, owing to the variation of film forming matter, film-forming temperature, film thickness significantly changes the curvature of Sapphire Substrate.
And, be almost 0 such film formation process by the curvature that is formed on as Sapphire Substrate in the growth phase of the InGaN layer of active layer, and make the situation of the emission wavelength homogenizing in the substrate surface, also by clearly.
As mentioned above, the warpage by a series of film formation process Sapphire Substrate significantly changes as can be known, thereby the quality of nitride semiconductor film or the uniformity of emission wavelength are brought influence.
In fact, utilizing the coefficient of thermal expansion differences with substrate, is that substrate curvature is almost 0 like that in the active layer with InGaN, and sets the warped shapes and the amount of warpage of Sapphire Substrate.Under such background,, and various grinding technology (for example patent documentation 2) have been studied for shape and the amount of warpage of controlling Sapphire Substrate.

Summary of the invention
As mentioned above, exist owing to the warpage of Sapphire Substrate is significantly changed by a series of film formation process that obtain LED structure with gallium nitride system, thereby the uniformity variation of the quality of nitride semiconductor layer or emission wavelength, thereby the such problem of rate of finished products step-down of light-emitting diode.
At this problem, in existing method, adopt so that InGaN is the curvature of the substrate in the growth phase of active layer is almost 0 and sets the warped shapes of Sapphire Substrate and the method for amount of warpage like that.Just, in advance Sapphire Substrate being given at InGaN is that the amount of warpage that produces in the growth phase of active layer is partly offset such method.By like this, though can suppress the deviation of emission wavelength to a certain degree,, the problem that exists in InGaN and be the warpage of the substrate that produces in the film forming engineering beyond the active layer can't solve such problem.
Particularly, when n-GaN layer growth stage or film forming finish back cooling substrate, because Sapphire Substrate warpage significantly, therefore exist film quality and film quality uniformity to reduce or problem that the brilliant back-grinding processing of substrate can't be carried out etc. equably.Because these problems significantly influence the rate of finished products of devices such as light-emitting diode, therefore, need suppress the warpage and the variable quantity thereof of substrate by film formation process integral body, thereby reduce the buckling behavior of substrate itself, still, such Sapphire Substrate does not exist at present.
In addition, when making the Sapphire Substrate heavy caliber, exist the warped shapes utilize the precision that attrition process carries out and the control of amount of warpage itself to become difficult such problem.In the Sapphire Substrate of having implemented attrition process, usually because the difference of the accurately machined surface roughness of the residual or top and bottom of machining deformation and on substrate, produce the situation of warpage, by cognition.For example, in the polished substrate of single face, mainly be the main cause that the surface roughness difference of top and bottom becomes warpage, in two-sided polished substrate, except the surface roughness of top and bottom was slightly different, the surface roughness in substrate surface deviation slightly also became the main cause of warpage.
Particularly, in the heavy caliber substrate, making surface roughness in the substrate surface become evenly is difficult technically, thereby only has the problem that can't critically be controlled to the such technical limitations of desirable warped shapes and amount of warpage by attrition process.
In addition, if obtain the nitride-based semiconductor bulk substrate, and the thick film epitaxial growth of desiring to make nitride-based semiconductor on Sapphire Substrate is to thickness that can self-supporting (Free-standing), then exist since sapphire with the coefficient of thermal expansion differences of nitride-based semiconductor Sapphire Substrate warpage significantly, and then since film thickness increase and the such problem of amount of warpage increase.Therefore, the result cracks in film forming or after the film forming, obtain can self-supporting the nitride-based semiconductor bulk substrate come down to impossible.
As these solution, ELOG (Epitaxial Lateral Over Growth, epitaxial lateral overgrowth) method or DEEP (Dislocation Elimination of Inverted-Pyramidal Pits) method or VAS (Void-Assisted Separation, gap form and peel off) method etc. has been proposed, but, all have the such shortcoming of complex procedures in any one method.

Embodiment
Below, describe being used to implement suitable mode of the present invention.
Epitaxial growth of the present invention is characterised in that with the inter-modification substrate, the inside of employed single crystalline substrate in the film forming of the crystallinity film that forms by epitaxial growth, see through the facet side of above-mentioned single crystalline substrate and pulse laser is assembled the line scanning of going forward side by side, thereby utilize multi-photon absorb to form the modification area figure and make, wherein, multi-photon absorbs and to be based on above-mentioned pulse laser and to produce.
Single crystalline substrate absorbs and the material that forms modification area in inside gets final product so long as can utilize based on the multi-photon of pulse laser, can enumerate sapphire, nitride-based semiconductor, Si, GaAs, crystal, SiC etc.In addition, also can be quartz or glass etc., rather than single crystalline substrate.
The wavelength of employed pulse laser is suitable than the wavelength in long, the transparent wave band of the absorption edge ripple of the single crystalline substrate that is suitable for.Pulse duration, irradiation energy need be according to the physical characteristics of material and are suitably selected.
In single crystalline substrate is under the situation of Sapphire Substrate, and the wavelength of pulse laser is to be good below the above 5000nm of 200nm, and pulse duration is good with psec~femtosecond, and for better, repetition rate is good with 50kHz~500kHz with 200fs~800fs.Laser power is 0.05~0.8W, and the spot size of laser is 0.5~4 μ m, and spot size is good about with 2 μ m.The sweep speed of sample bench considers that the words of mass productivity are good with 100~1000mm/s.
In addition, the typical processing conditions that can form the modification area in Si, GaAs, the crystal is shown in the table 1.
[table 1]
Si GaAs Quartzy
Wavelength (nm) 1064 1064 1045
Pulse duration (sec) 120×10 -9 70×10 -9 500×10 -15
Repetition rate (kHz) 100 15 100
Spot size (μ m) 1.5 1.5 1.0
Laser power (W) 0.3~1.2 0.2 0.4
Objective table sweep speed (mm/s) 200~300 200 400
Under Si, GaAs, quartzy situation, the scope of spot size about with 0.5 μ m~4 μ m is good.The objective table sweep speed is 50mm/s~1000mm/s, considers that the words of mass productivity are good with 100mm/s~1000mm/s.Pulse duration is good with 50ns~200ns under the situation of Si, is good with 30ns~80ns under the situation of GaAs, is good with 200fs~800fs under the situation of crystal.Irradiation energy is respectively being good with 3~12 μ J under the situation of Si, is good with 8~20 μ J under the situation of GaAs, is good with 3~6 μ J under the situation of crystal.Repetition rate is good with 10kHz~500kHz.
The size of single crystalline substrate is not defined, and can use diameter to be the substrate below the above 300mm of 50mm.The thickness of substrate can use the following thickness of the above 5.0mm of 0.05mm.
Single crystalline substrate is as long as the face that is used in the film forming of the crystallinity film that forms by epitaxial growth to the major general grinds.Usually in single crystalline substrate,, and produce warpage because the residual or accurately machined surface roughness of the machining deformation that produces because of grinding is in the top and bottom difference.For example, in the polished substrate of single face, mainly be the main cause that the surface roughness difference of top and bottom becomes warpage, in two-sided polished substrate, except the roughness of top and bottom was slightly different, the surface roughness in substrate surface deviation slightly also became the main cause of warpage.
In addition, so-called " epitaxial growth " comprises the isoepitaxial growth, the heteroepitaxial growth that contain same composition or mix-crystal.
As shown in Figure 1, the facet side that sees through single crystalline substrate 1 is focused at substrate interior with pulse laser 2, and continuously with the high-velocity scanning sample bench, then forms the modification area of the wire that the modification area 3 with point-like couples together continuously.
Part, the modification area 3 of point-like only are formed at by moment ground have been shone on the part of pulse laser, and its size depends on spot size, laser intensity and the pulse duration of laser.In addition, form the distance of modification area 3 of the point-like of wire, form according to the repetition rate of laser and the sweep speed of objective table.
Carry out many combinations by the modification area that these is formed wire, and on the desirable position of the thickness direction of substrate, form at least a modification area figure.So-called " modification area " is multi-photon to take place partly absorb and the metamorphic layer of formation in the part of having shone laser.
As shown in Figure 2, graphics shape by making the modification area figure, the spacing 4 between each line, form the constrained optimization of position 5, modified layer length 6 etc., the stress of substrate integral body can be controlled, thereby the warped shapes and/or the amount of warpage of substrate can be critically controlled.
As graphics shape, for example as shown in Figure 2, its flat shape can form that directional plane (orientation flat) with respect to substrate forms the band shape (Fig. 2 (a) and (b)) of many lines perpendicular or parallelly, latticed (Fig. 2 (c)) etc. of both combinations with this.In addition also can form and dispose a plurality of polygonal shapes (Fig. 2 (d)), concentric circles (Fig. 2 (e)), helical form etc.
Because graphics shape mainly influences the symmetry of the warped shapes of substrate, therefore, desires to obtain uniform warped shapes in substrate surface, its flat shape with the straight line with respect to the central point by substrate serve as slightly the line symmetry or slightly point symmetry such be shaped as good.On the contrary, if flat shape is banded, also may bring deviation to the warped shapes of substrate.
Spacing 4 between each line mainly influences the variable quantity of the amount of warpage of the substrate after the modification area figure forms, and the more little then variable quantity of the spacing between each line is big more.Because spacing is more little expends process time more, therefore, consider mass productivity, be good with 50 μ m~2000 μ m, with 100 μ m~1000 μ m for better.
Forming position 5 mainly influences the variable quantity of the amount of warpage of the substrate after the modification area figure forms, and then variable quantity is big more the closer to the surface to form the position.For the film forming face to single crystalline substrate is not brought influence, the formation position of at least a modification area figure, with the film forming face with substrate be set in as benchmark more than 3% below 95% of substrate thickness, suitable more be to be good below 50% 3% or more.Also a plurality of modification area figures can be formed on the different formation position of thickness direction of substrate.
Modified layer length 6 forms according to spot size, irradiation energy (laser power/repetition rate), the pulse duration of laser, forms to count the thickness about μ m~tens of μ m usually.
As mentioned above, by at the inner stress that forms the modification area figure and control substrate of single crystalline substrate, can obtain the warped shapes of substrate and/or the inter-modification substrate that amount of warpage is critically controlled effectively.
In addition, on the film forming face of the inter-modification substrate that obtains by the present invention, form one deck crystallinity film at least by epitaxial growth, thereby can make the crystal phragmoplast.The formation method of crystallinity film can be suitable for any one of vapor phase growth, liquid growth.For example, can use various crystal growths such as MBE method (molecular beam epitaxy), CVD method (chemical vapour deposition technique), VPE method (vapour phase epitaxy method), LPE method (liquid phase epitaxial method), sublimed method.
Use inter-modification substrate of the present invention, because the stresses counteract that can utilize the stress of inter-modification substrate to produce by film forming, therefore, thereby the warpage that can suppress the substrate in the film forming reduces the buckling behavior of substrate.Therefore, can the be improved quality and the inhomogeneity crystal phragmoplast of crystallinity film.
Use constitutes various devices by the crystal phragmoplast that the present invention obtains, and can improve the quality and the rate of finished products of device.
In addition, crystal phragmoplast of the present invention can be used as base material, and then be formed the thick film of crystallinity film by isoepitaxial growth with film thickness that can self-supporting (Free-standing).In addition, the base material separation of thick film from being made of the crystal phragmoplast with the crystallinity film can access bulk substrate (bulk substrate).
And then, by thick film and the modification substrate separation internally that on inter-modification substrate of the present invention, forms the crystallinity film, also can access the bulk substrate that the thick film by the crystallinity film constitutes.Use inter-modification substrate of the present invention,, therefore, can not form thick film with cracking owing to can be suppressed in the film forming or the warpage of the substrate that produces after the film forming.
As film thickness that can self-supporting, being good more than the 50 μ m.In addition, as the formation method of thick film, can use mocvd method (Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method), HVPE method (hydride vapour phase epitaxy method), LPE method (liquid phase epitaxial method) etc.
By using Sapphire Substrate as above-mentioned single crystalline substrate, can access the inter-modification Sapphire Substrate, wherein, this inter-modification Sapphire Substrate has the effect identical with above-mentioned inter-modification substrate, and, be suitable for the film forming of the semiconductor layer that forms by epitaxial growth.
In addition, on the film forming face of inter-modification Sapphire Substrate of the present invention, form one semiconductor layer at least, thereby can make the semiconductor layer phragmoplast by epitaxial growth.Can access semiconductor device and the block substrate of semiconductor that semiconductor layer phragmoplast that use obtains by the present invention constitutes.
Particularly, be under the situation of nitride semiconductor layer at semiconductor layer, employed Sapphire Substrate in the film forming as nitride semiconductor layer can use diameter to be the substrate below the above 300mm of 50mm.The present invention is owing to have bigger effect in the heavy caliber substrate, therefore, be more than the 75mm and then particularly useful in the substrate greater than 150mm at diameter.Substrate dimension and above-mentioned irrelevant and unqualified.
The thickness of employed Sapphire Substrate in the film forming of nitride semiconductor layer can adopt the following thickness of the above 5.0mm of 0.05mm.For the modification area figure being formed on the position of not destroying Sapphire Substrate itself, the thickness of substrate is being good more than the 0.1mm.In addition, suitable more is, the diameter of substrate be under the situation below the above 150mm of 50mm with 0.3mm more than for good, more than the diameter of substrate surpasses under the situation of 150mm with 0.5mm, be good.
In addition, can use the film forming face of nitride semiconductor layer to be concave surface, and the curvature of this concave surface is greater than 0km -1Smaller or equal to 160km -1Substrate.
When the inside of employed Sapphire Substrate forms the modification area figure in the film forming of nitride semiconductor layer, the flat shape of figure, as described above be banded, latticed, dispose a plurality of polygonal shapes, concentric circles, helical form, with respect to the straight line of the central point by substrate be line symmetry slightly or slightly any one in the such shape of point symmetry for good.In order to obtain in substrate surface, having the inter-modification Sapphire Substrate of uniform warped shapes and amount of warpage, being that straight line with respect to the central point by substrate is line symmetry slightly, slightly point-symmetric shape, in latticed any one is shaped as better.
Spacing between each line is good with 50 μ m~2000 μ m, with 100 μ m~1000 μ m for better.And then consider mass productivity, with 200 μ m~500 μ m for better.
The formation position of at least a modification area figure, with the film forming face with substrate be set at as benchmark be formed at substrate thickness more than 3% below 95% for good, suitable more is more than 3% below 50%.Also a plurality of modification area figures can be formed on the different formation position of thickness direction of substrate.
In addition, under the prior art, when the light-emitting component that the Sapphire Substrate upper strata is pressed with nitride semiconductor layer is cut apart, after the film forming of nitride semiconductor layer with Sapphire Substrate brilliant back-grinding processing (back-grinding) to 100 μ m after, at the inner figure of cutting apart usefulness that forms of Sapphire Substrate, but, also the flat shape of the modification area figure that is provided with before the film forming of nitride semiconductor layer can be formed latticed, and finally as led chip cut apart with and use.Under this situation, being formed at figure, to stay on the position such in the remaining thickness part in brilliant back-grinding processing back of Sapphire Substrate be desirable.
Below, on the film forming face of the inter-modification Sapphire Substrate that obtains by the present invention, make one deck nitride semiconductor layer epitaxial growth at least and the mode of making the nitride semiconductor layer phragmoplast is narrated.
In Fig. 3 (a)~(d), represent epitaxial growth operation to the nitride semiconductor layer that carries out on the Sapphire Substrate.On film build method, can use mocvd method, HVPE method, MBE method etc.At first, carry out the heat of Sapphire Substrate 7 and clean (thermal cleaning) (Fig. 3 (a)), and carry out the growth (Fig. 3 (b)) of low temperature buffer layer 8.Then, the InGaN that make n-GaN layer 9 (Fig. 3 (c)), has a multi-quantum pit structure (Multiple quantum well structures) is active layer 10 (Fig. 3 (d)) growth.
In-situ (original position) in Fig. 4 in the epitaxial growth operation of expression nitride semiconductor layer observes example.As disclosed in the non-patent literature 2, can analyze the behavior of the Sapphire Substrate in the film forming quantitatively by In-situ (original position) observation.That is to say, can know that the warped shapes of substrate or amount of warpage are in film forming as where change.
In Fig. 4, transverse axis is the time, and the longitudinal axis is expressed as the curvature (km of the substrate of face -1).It is convex-shaped that the forward of the longitudinal axis is expressed as face, and it is concave shape that negative sense is expressed as face.
Can calculate the amount of warpage of substrate by the flexometer of substrate.That is to say, as shown in Figure 5, if the radius of curvature of substrate is made as R, then has the amount of warpage X (μ m) of the substrate of 1/R curvature, use as D approx by diameter substrate, can be simply be as 0.322 * curvature (km under the situation of 50mm at the diameter of substrate -1) and obtain, be as 1.250 * curvature (km at the diameter of substrate under the situation of 150mm -1) and obtain.
Wave spectrum A among Fig. 4, the example of the existing Sapphire Substrate that does not form the modification area figure is used in expression.
In addition, Fig. 4 (a)~(e) is corresponding with each process of film formation process respectively.That is to say, (a) clean corresponding to the heat of substrate, (b) corresponding to the low temperature buffer layer growth, (c) corresponding to the n-GaN layer growth, is the active layer growth corresponding to InGaN (d), (e) corresponding to cooling.
Use the wave spectrum A of Fig. 4, the behavior of the substrate among Fig. 4 (a)~(e) is described.
Cleaning in the stage of transition to (a) substrate heat, and since the temperature difference on the top and bottom of Sapphire Substrate, the further grow of the concave of substrate aufwuchsplate, thus curvature significantly changes.
Then, usually temperature is being reduced to about 500~600 ℃ and in the stage of (b) low temperature buffer layer growth transition, the concave of substrate weakens, thereby curvature diminish a little.
Then, once more temperature is increased to about 1000 ℃ and carries out in the stage of (c) n-GaN layer growth, because gallium nitride is poor with sapphire lattice constant, and make the concave grow of substrate, thereby curvature becomes greatly.And then carry out film forming, because the big more then curvature of film thickness is big more, therefore, the remarkable variation of substrate inner evenness of film thickness and film quality.Only controlling by membrance casting condition that the substrate inner evenness is considered to is difficult technically.In addition, in nitride semiconductor layer, thereby the situation that produces dislocation film quality variation in order to relax stress becomes problem.
Then, temperature is reduced to about 700~800 ℃, at (d) InGaN is in the growth phase of active layer, influences the inner evenness of emission wavelength because InGaN is the film thickness of active layer and the uniformity of the composition of the In among the InGaN, thereby influences the fabrication yield of led chip.Influenced by film-forming temperature because InGaN is the film thickness or the In composition of active layer, therefore, in order to improve the temperature homogeneity in the substrate surface, making the curvature of the substrate in the film forming is desirable near 0 as much as possible.
At last, in the stage of (e) cooling substrate, because once more because of coefficient of thermal expansion differences makes substrate shape warpage significantly once more, therefore, the curvature of the substrate after a series of film formation process finishes becomes big.This causes producing makes the preceding brilliant back-grinding processing of led chipization become the such problem of difficulty.
More than, by shown in the wave spectrum A of Fig. 4 as can be known, use the words of existing Sapphire Substrate, can make InGaN is that substrate curvature in the active layer growth phase is almost 0, on the other hand, exist the behavior of the substrate in the film formation process big, the curvature of the substrate after film forming finishes becomes big such shortcoming.
Next, first example that will observe by the In-situ (original position) when the inner formation of existing Sapphire Substrate modification area figure is made inter-modification Sapphire Substrate of the present invention and film forming nitride semiconductor layer is shown in the wave spectrum B among Fig. 4.
The initial condition of the inter-modification Sapphire Substrate among the wave spectrum B is that to form the modification area figure like that be good to convex surface to compare the film forming face warpage with existing Sapphire Substrate.By like this, compare with the wave spectrum A that uses existing Sapphire Substrate, can reduce the buckling behavior of substrate.
Among the wave spectrum C in Fig. 4, similarly represented to use the example of inter-modification Sapphire Substrate with the situation of wave spectrum B, wherein, this inter-modification Sapphire Substrate, be when the inner formation of existing Sapphire Substrate modification area figure, adjust spacing between each line and figure and form the position, the initial condition that makes Sapphire Substrate compare wave spectrum B and further significantly warpage be the inter-modification Sapphire Substrate of convex surface.
Wave spectrum C can further reduce the behavior of substrate by film formation process.That is to say that the stress that produces in the stresses counteract film forming of utilizing substrate is compared in expression with wave spectrum A, B effect is bigger.
Compare with the situation of using existing Sapphire Substrate, with above-mentioned wave spectrum B, the nitride semiconductor layer that C obtains, because the warpage of the substrate in the film forming is suppressed, the buckling behavior of substrate diminishes, so the quality of film and uniformity raising.
But simultaneously, the initial condition of inter-modification Sapphire Substrate is significantly, and warpage is the state of convex surface, the result is, the curvature of the substrate when producing InGaN and be the active layer growth phase and finishing with film forming is compared with the situation of using existing Sapphire Substrate and become such problem greatly.
That is to say, inter-modification Sapphire Substrate of the present invention, shown in the wave spectrum C among Fig. 6, forming can be when reducing the buckling behavior of substrate, and making InGaN is that the curvature of active layer growth phase and the film forming substrate when finishing such initial condition that diminishes is desirable.
By like this, can improve the uniformity of the emission wavelength of nitride semiconductor luminescent element in the quality and the inhomogeneity while of the film that improves nitride semiconductor layer.
Therefore, in the Sapphire Substrate before the modification area figure forms, use can be in advance with by the formation of modification area figure significantly warpage be desirable as the such Sapphire Substrate of the substrate curvature partial offset of convex surface.
As mentioned above, as the Sapphire Substrate of modification area figure formation usefulness, can use the film forming face of nitride semiconductor layer to be concave surface, and the curvature of this concave surface is greater than 0km -1Smaller or equal to 160km -1Sapphire Substrate.In addition, from above-mentioned reason, be concave surface with the film forming face of nitride semiconductor layer, and the curvature of this concave surface is 40km -1Above 150km -1Below be good, and then with 85km -1Above 150km -1Below for better.
As mentioned above, the inter-modification Sapphire Substrate of the application of the invention can access the nitride semiconductor layer phragmoplast that the quality of film of nitride semiconductor layer and uniformity have improved.
